Keith Allen is a well known left-wing activist and critic of the conservative party. His comments about David Cameron and Willam Hague were made ironically are were not meant to be taken literally.
Again, it is common knowledge that Keith Allen's politics are left-wing and in no way can he be described as a supporter of the conservative party. The comments he made were obviously ironic as he is well known critic of conservative policies and mindsets.
If moderators can't appreciate that then perhaps they shouldn't be moderating this page.
By the way, there was nowhere else to put the reasons for the edit hence why they are here.
Whats his middle name?
If the reliable source says son, so does the article, per WP:V] - Tiswas( t) 15:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Could you add info about his documentary on the death of Princess Diana, There Are Dark Forces ? Then again, it seems to have not been mentioned at all since private screenings were apparently held last year. 86.177.105.111 ( talk) 00:25, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Sarah isnt his daughter, Her father is Andy Lavender. I have changed the article to reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.30.146.60 ( talk) 16:33, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
I added a little bit in brackets to the Keith Allen Will Burn In Hell bit, since the context that was given gives off an entirely false suggestion —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.184.90 ( talk) 00:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
"Although he portrays the persona of the working-class, Allen is a former public schoolboy who was born in Wales."
Does that sentence from the first paragraph actually contain seemingly opposing ideas that warrant the use of the word "although"? Or is being a "public schoolboy" in Wales considered to be an upper class position? I do not live in Britain, so maybe I am not familiar with their use of the term. Somebody please explain. Otherwise, the sentence should be changed. JBFrenchhorn ( talk) 10:24, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
According to Debrett's, Allen's birth name and date are different than the info in the article. Infact the info in Debrett's was the info that USED to be on the article and on sites like IMDb until it was recently changed. Did Allen send Debrett's the wrong info as a joke or what?

He is a 'Welsh musician but he is the father of a 'British singer? Some consistency is needed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.75.119 ( talk) 20:21, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
"Allen is an outspoken supporter of the Conservative Party." This statement in the article is based on a just one interview, three years ago, expressing approval of two of the party's leaders: "It's come to something when I think David Cameron is right." Is it a bit of a stretch to make him a "supporter of the Conservative Party" itself on this basis? An IP editor, who has commented above, keeps removing this. I've restored it as vandalism, but it could do with a second look. Views? -- Old Moonraker ( talk) 06:45, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Keith Allen is actually a Conservative voter. He only pretended to be left-wing in the 1990s. ( ClarksonW ( talk) 18:00, 12 October 2014 (UTC))
"Together The film Carry On Columbus hit the big screen with Keith Allen playing Pepi The Poisoner."
So many editors, but so little literacy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.168.78.33 ( talk) 18:06, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Why do he and his siblings have the surname Allen when his father’s surname was Owen? Feels like this should be explained in the Early Life section. 86.11.32.31 ( talk) 23:04, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
